MADAyuMadyan – Rusia menimbulkan keraguan pada bukti Amerika
Syarikat dengan serangan kimia oleh Assad. Sebagaimana Amerika Syarikat
bersedia untuk serangan tentera didapati di Syria, sekutu utama Presiden Assad,
Rusia, menghantar sebuah kapal perisik ke Mediterranean timur.
Ia
berkata misi kapal peninjau adalah untuk “mengumpul maklumat terkini dalam
bidang konflik yang semakin meningkat”. Moscow percaya dakwaan serangan kimia
senjata yang mungkin telah dilakukan oleh pemberontak Syria untuk mencetuskan
campur tangan asing.
Menteri
Luar Rusia, Sergey Lavrov berkata Washington tidak membuktikan kesnya bahawa
gas Sarin telah digunakan oleh Assad. “Kami ditunjukkan beberapa penemuan yang
tidak mengandungi khusus, tidak Koordinat geografi, atau nama, atau bukti
bahawa ujian telah dijalankan oleh profesional. Terdapat terlalu banyak
keraguan,” Lavrov dinyatakan.
Amerika
Syarikat menegaskan kerajaan Syria di belakang serangan yang dikatakan telah
membunuh lebih 1,400 orang. Presiden Obama sedang mencari kebenaran Kongres
untuk tindakan punitif terhadap tentera Syria. Sementara itu, kepimpinan negara
Turki percaya serangan terhad tidak mencukupi, dan mahu melihat Assad dipaksa
keluar.
Perdana
Menteri Turki Tayyip Erdogan berkata: “Kecuali langkah-langkah yang berkesan
diambil, rejim Syria akan digalakkan untuk melakukan pembunuhan beramai-ramai
baru dan tragedi kemanusiaan Kami menggesa sekutu kami untuk mengelakkan
langkah-langkah sementara itu dan memberitahu mereka ini akan menyebabkan
masalah yang serius..”
Russia
casts doubts on US evidence for chemical attacks by Assad. As the US gets ready
for possible military attacks on Syria, President Assad's main ally, Russia, is
sending a spy ship to the eastern Mediterranean.
It
said the reconnaissance ship's mission was to "gather current information
in the area of the escalating conflict". Moscow believes the alleged
chemical weapons attack could have been staged by Syrian rebels to provoke
foreign intervention.
Russian
Foreign Minister,Sergey Lavrov said Washington had not proved its case that
Sarin gas was used by Assad. "We were shown some findings which contained
no specifics, neither geographical coordinates, nor names, nor proof that tests
had been carried out by professionals. There are too many doubts," Lavrov
stated.
The
US insists the Syrian government was behind the attack which it says killed
over 1,400 people. President Obama is seeking Congressional authorisation for
punitive action against Syrian forces. Meanwhile, Turkey's leadership believes
a limited strike is not enough, and wants to see Assad forced out.
Turkish
Prime Minister Tayyip Erdogan said: "Unless efficient steps are taken, the
Syrian regime will be encouraged to commit new massacres and humanitarian
tragedies. We are urging our allies to avoid such temporary steps and tell them
this will cause grave problems."
